Because from what I've been told you are old enough to remember them.
Actually I have one in my toolkit Colin, and I know how to use it.

So much for the wonderful enegy efficient schemes they promote in their attempts to get folks to insulate their homes.

Never mind, when it's finished I'll have the warmest house in the area.

It's OK Shona, I thanked Dougie for the offer but the balls are on order, the total cost won't be too expensive, I recon about £200 or so, anyways, I like them, however I'm still fishing one or two out of my kecks occasionally.

Dougie went over this morning,,,
found said hole, {had a bit of rag stuck in it}
Filled said hole

BANNED nero from touching it again

explained,,, that the stuff would flow through to next door, He would need to fit a cavity barrier that the ventalation of the house needs to be taken into consideration, gas checks done, drilling at 45degrees will compromise the structure, that you must use a bonding agent when filling cavity, or if you drill a hole inside the house to fit a new plug socket,,or the sky man drills a hole outside,,,all your polly balls are going to tumble back in or out,,, so dennis is in need of a new project,,,{dougie will finish this one}

anyone got any ideas for de neros next challange,?[/

Now that's not strictly true Shona, Dougie and I had a very amicable conversation this morning, he did say the poly balls are good at retaining heat, however they're out of date, the new material is very similar to EPS only it's not granular it looks like cotton wool, I said, "but dougie I like stuffing things", he said, "go stuff yourself", so yes I'm gratefull he dropped by but what am I gonna do with the balls I've ordered.

Suggestions please.

I could advise you Lynne, but sorry it's a trade secret.
